Half the time, without context, you couldn't even tell Jack was in the future. He was in a forest or generic canyon fighting non-descript monsters and demons that could have been from any time period.
So what was even the point of sending him to the future? Very few episodes ever actually had him in that cool Aku-ruled dystopian city.
No.965436
>>965435
Oh, and I should add on to that, Aku's future rule actually seems pretty okay considering how evil he's supposed to be.
He lets alien refugees stay on his plant as long as they build him statues once a month, for crying out loud.
No.965453
and to give a good example of how poorly thought out the world is, how about aku always needing to hire assassins and mercenaries except for when he conveniently has an army of demon minions when the plot calls for it?
like demongo popping out of nowhere as if we should know who he is.
or Aku's demon slavers that appeared in the pilot, and literally only made one more appearance when the plot called for Jack to have human-sized foes to disguise himself as. Then never appeared again.
How convenient.

Samurai Jack isn't meant to be some grand adventure that unfolds over the course of 62 episodes, you clown.
Only modern shows actually have overarching plots like that. You're clearly young, else you'd remember the days when a cartoon had a single intro episode that set up the premise, then a bunch of stories that can be viewed in any order, then, if you were lucky and the show wasn't cancelled, an ending.
Almost none of Jack's adventures truly mattered, and no anon will tell you it's brilliant because of it's story, save for a few standout episodes.
It's brilliant because of the artstyle and fight choreography throughout, and that's all that truly matters in the show.
No.965504

Indeed. One episode's liner notes simply read "jack builds weapons, 20 minutes of fighting"

>And the love story was fine, if rushed.
I'm not opposed to the concept of Jack having a love interest, but it feel so unnatural in the context of the season. It almost frames the story in a way that makes it seem like Jack wasn't able to get back to the past because he didn't have love, which is bullshit. I'm all for the show saying that the reason he was stuck for so long was because he was trying to go it alone with almost no help, which was a fundamental part of his character. They even could have had the entire season play out that way, with all the allies they showed in the last episode for 30 seconds instead being gathered over the course of the final run. Instead we got a love story that ultimately pulled the focus away from the main character, forced the pacing to be sped up, and involved more dialogue from Jack per episode than you'd be likely to see in a whole season of the original show. It's such a shame, too, since the first 3 episodes perfectly captured the original series. It really felt like I was watching the true continuation of Samurai Jack, not the Jack & Ashi show.

I was really enjoying the last season near the beginning. By the time the ghost samurai turned out to be just some random ghost with no real depth, that's when it became painful. The rest of the episodes forced the love plot like no tomorrow, and most notably, they totally wasted the last episode on character introductions.
As a top-level concept, Aashi isn't bad, and I'm glad the series got an ending. But there's really nothing well-done about the execution at all.
